Beyond

the universe is both poetic and tragic combined solely of despair and stardust beneath the skin of humanity the eye of the man lacking in truth sees that the ground is green and the sky is blue but the w r i t e r sees beyond the writer sees souls that dance and vertices of hope (everyatomofme) the cosmos is both wonderful and frightening intertwined by the ink of a pen beneath metaphors and wide ruled notebook paper the eye of the man lacking in assurance

sees that the cities burn and the people die but the p o e t sees beyond the poet sees a spirit’s rebirth and the existence of faith

(everyparticleofyou) the galaxy is both big and lonely made up of black holes and white lies beneath a star coated haze the eye of the man lacking in passion

sees that music is played and art is painted but the a r t i s t sees beyond the artist sees magnetic b flats and a world of oil paint
